The 2005 Kingdom of Heaven movie really did Guy and Sibylla dirty. I’m fairly sure the history was especially distorted because the writer and director were atheists and clung too tightly to a “religious tolerance is ideal” message, even at the expense of accurately portraying the actions of the actual historical figures.
You're right, they should have made it more clear the crusaders were all evil and deserved worse.
Guy was exiled to Outremer in the first place for trying to kidnap Eleanor of Aquitaine btw.
Guy was not exiled for kidnapping or attempting to kidnap Eleanor of Aquitaine.
